I'm trying to organize my head around making some spring clothes for the kids. Not too crazy, but a few staple items that they will enjoy wearing, and I'll enjoy seeing on them. (I say this now, but I will end up with an unmanageable list in the end)
Some sailboat pants for both of them would be nice. I already made a pair for Clover a while ago, I think in the Fall, but I want to make the real cropped version for Springtime. Crazily enough, I haven't made a sailboat top yet but I would like to make at least one for each of the girls.
Also, I want to make some more Claire dresses - one for each of them. I'd like to see what it looks like without the neck ruffle, as much as I like it on this dress.
And at least a Maggie Mae tunic for Violet even if I don't get another one done for Clover right away
I still have a Violet version of this skirt to make too
I've got fabric laying about for a matching Clover version of this coat, but I haven't gotten to it yet
My list is already getting too long....
I've also got some old knit cotton shirt and thrifted items sitting here that can be made into sweats or shirts for the girls.
I was also hoping to get another pair of skinny jeans made, but we'll see when that happens o_0
Having said all that, I am on the hunt for a few special fabrics to use on some of my spring clothes. My mind is craving some cream and aqua together. I've fallen prey to the chevron craze too....at first I resisted but it got me in the end. I'll be on the hunt for a nice twill or something like it for making pants with. As tempting as all the awesome prints out there are, it would be good to have a solid semi-neutral color to have as an outfit base that I can pair with a variety of prints.





You've inspired me to make plans!
